Migori governor Okoth Obado’s lawyer Cliff Ombetta said it was unfortunate he was arrested by police terming the move as instigated by public pressure.

Obado is currently being held at Gigiri Police station after Friday arrest and will on Monday be charged over the murder of Sharon Otieno, the Rongo University student who was carrying his child.

Both Sharon and the child were brutaly murdered three weeks ago.

Ombeta lamented that the decision taken by the DCI and DPP was in bad faith after Obado owned up to fathering the child.

“It was an act of love on the governor’s part, but on the other side it’s an act of malice by the DCI and the DPP. We’ll fight them in court. They are destroying the career of an innocent person. They should be ashamed,” he said as quoted by Weekend Star.

On Friday, Obado arrived at the DCI headquarters at 10am to record a new statement after DNA results confirmed he was the father of the male baby stabbed in Sharon’s womb.

The county chief has denied any link to the murder of the 26-year-old t but admitted they were lovers.
